Few American women have traveled more widely in foreign lands or in our own country than has the author of this little book. Those who have been her companions in travel and the many more who have been fortunate enough to meet her and make her acquaintance in the course of her journeyings will recall with pleasure the enjoyment which she imparts to every circle in which she finds herself by the enthusiastic spirit in which she greets new scenes and new experiences, her cheerfulness in the trials incident to travel, and her helpfulness on occasions of need. The Christmas spirit which prompts us to make everyone happy in December seems to actuate her life throughout the year. That spirit finds sweet expression in the verses contained in this modest volume; and I am glad to introduce and com mend it to all those for whose benefit and pleasure it has been worthily written.
